Context menu problem with 7-Zip in Salamander

[Nazarene]

Hi there

I am having a problem with my context menu when I right click on a zip/7z file. I have had this for the last three versions (and possibly longer?) - 2.51, 2.52 and now the last two EAP versions.

When I right click on a zip/7z file in Salamander it doesn't show the 7-Zip context item in the context menu - everything else shows as normal...
When I do the same in Explorer it shows the context menu correctly, with the 7-Zip options there.
Hopefully the image will help me to explain the problem:

I am on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit and I have uninstalled and reinstalled Salamander, uninstalled and reinstalled 7-Zip, with and without Admin priviledges... so I am a bit stuck now...

Any ideas/suggestions will be tried out.

I am running on WXP 32 and context menu looks the same in AS and in Explorer. May be problem of 64bits

Until there is a 64-bit version of Altap Salamander, install both versions of 7-zip: 32-bit AND 64-bit. The 64-bit version will be used in native 64-bit Explorer and other 64-bit applications and 32-bit version will be used by 32-bit applications including Altap Salamander or Microsoft Office

Installing both 7-Zip versions at the same time is completelly supported method and it will allow Salamander to use 7-Zip shell extension
